[Saru]

At our most recent REACT club meeting our Clerk of Course has said that hooning around will not be discouraged at all.

Tyre smoke will not be frowned upon as long as you are attempting to complete the course. A static burnout will be frowned upon, as will doing donuts and both will earn you a chat from the CoC. That said, there is a lot of latitude in what "attempting to complete the course" means :kewl:

I received an entry from "SupaFly Skyline" yesterday - the first skyline to enter

Neil - could you send me a competed entry form with your details? There are now 4 places left and I'm sure we'll get people trying to enter on the day. I'd hate for you to drive down from Sydney and then not be able to compete.

You can sign and pay on the day but if I have a form I'll hold a place for you. Send it to [email protected] (I've PM'd you too)

See you Sunday! :burnout:

Neeil.

[Shell]

Shelly buy one in Yellow tomorrow.

Neil you know how much i want to :aroused:

[SupaFly Skyline]

Thanks again for a top day Ben, had a ball!

Neil great to meet you, and i will practise my handbrake timing for next time.

Everyone else, you missed out on a great day, hope to see more of you at the next one

[Duncan]

Hey Andrew, good to hear you and Neil made it out there...how did you go? get many WDs?

Its all about the handbrake

[Neil]

Yep Andrew and I had a ball. I did my usual 2 wd's but I'm used to that. I've finally got the handbrake/powerslide thing down pat. Now just gotta teach Andrew as well.

I'm itchin for the results,,,I might have made the top 10.

Neil.

[SupaFly Skyline]

Yeah, had a pair of WD's, spewing as one of them was on my last run of the day and thought it felt a lot faster than the first run on that test

I think the trick to the handbrake/powerslide thing is the timing, isnt it?

[Duncan]

muahahahaha its all about the WDs

yeah timing....and remembering to put the bloody clutch in at the same time

top fun, I love any sport where they want you to drive sideways all day

well done Neil, were there only 10 competitors or are you getting better Looks like the pulsary won't be returning, right?

[SKYLVIA]

hey gus have you got your L's? if not when do you get them?

[Neil]

Well seems I came in 12th out of 42 cars,,,.The results show I wded the last course which was the "Oh what a feeling" but thats crap,,,I did a 29.39 and a 29.13 with no penalties. I don't really care cause it was all in good fun and I won my class anyway.

Duncan I have the h-brake/clutch stuff sorted and I started trying different approaches and what seemed to work was when I had enough speed up going to a flag I pushed the clutch in and rolled into the beginning of the apex and then used the combo again. It made the back of the car much more settled.

Yep now that I have the rotor I can't see me stuffing around with the Pulsar,,,Mind you,,, you know you only ever have to ask if you need help with the 810.

Neil.

[SupaFly Skyline]

22nd aint too bad, 4 th in class too, however the results didnt list any WD's for me, but i know i did 2 of them

[Duncan]

well done guys, but I am intrigued, what class was there for skyline, "RWD Land Whales"?

BTW datto has new axle thanks to Neil, now just make sure it fits, weld it up nice and tight and I will be out terrorising 'khanas again

810

[Neil]

BTW datto has new axle thanks to Neil's Fantastic EB Falcon S/W Tow Car, 810

So would you like me to see if it fits next Saturday?. Here's the plan,,,you work on the GTR and Tosh and I will do the 810 or I'll do the 810 on my own.

Neil.

[Duncan]

hey mate...thanks for the offer (and the edit ) at this stage its all gtr next weekend in the outlandish hope that it will hit the road one day. I might just try and sling the axle in one night this week, shouldnt be too hard hopefully.

I'd love to know how to get those damn broken axles out though maybe i need a bigger hammer and pry bar :confused:

[SupaFly Skyline]

well done guys, but I am intrigued, what class was there for skyline, "RWD Land Whales"?

LOL there should have been, look at the body roll on this one!

[Duncan]

pfft....thats not body roll....this was body roll

seriously tho, your is sitting pretty well....check out the little mx5, or any of the older cars for comparison.....
